In the Year 2003 the first version of intergator come onto the market. The key functions are built on the program `TextDog`, which was developed by Kristian Hermsdorf in context of his diploma thesis in 2000. He wrote his thesis about the automated classification of documents with neural networks. This thesis became the starting point for the Enterprise Search Solution “intergator”.

The software was developed for quickly location of relevant information within enterprise network Enterprise Search.

With the help of connectors, the system enables a comprehensive indexing of more than 550 file formats. Basic Technology of intergator is Lucene and the programming language is Java.

Responsible for the high scalability of the software are integrated modules like the Documentation Reader. intergator runs after installation on every Internetbrowser. Responsible for a high degree of individualization is the free adaptable Dashboard.

Fundament of the dashboard is a search throughout various systems. Results of preconfigurable search requests will be shown in free placeable widgets on the dashboard. Possible filters and combinations give room for specific views on all available information: For example all documents published by a workgroup during the last 5 days can be shown in one widget.

Suggestions coming up by relations are known since internet search engines have been used. These suggestions encourage more complex queries, which are not always of relevance. Data based applications offer support for filling forms and search fields, prepared by an exact list of waked feeds. Suggestions made by intergator are generated by an adapted combination of both methods.

The usability and flexibility in displaying search results and hit details is supported by dynamically rendered templates. So it is possible to show various attributes, like metadata of search results as well as links to continuative information to similar or connected documents.

Facets have become standard in modern enterprise search solutions. Their main use can be seen in filtering search results by considering the peculiarity of values of important hit attributes. Facets can be defined at every moment and are available without reindexing while business goes on. In many cases the user will not find documents, but the specification of particular Meta data is the answer on a query. Therefore facets are presented as results and not real search results.

A condition for a full text search and the automatic production of metadata is the availability of text in the document. For scanned documents without text the use of the optional OCR-service is recommended.

When searching information into several hierarchical levels, intergator provides with the navigator perspective a competitive solution. Search results become navigable and visualisable in the form of a hyperbolic tree.

intergator Enterprise Search has been awarded by “Initiative Mittelstand” in the category `Reporting` as category-winner.[2] In the year 2008 interface projects GmbH received an award in the category knowledge management for intergator.[3] 2009 intergator reached the round of nominated in the category Landessieger Saxony.[4]
